Profile:
Considering the promise he held out as a teenage protege of Bishen
Bedi, Maninder Singh's final Test figures may be a bit
disappointing. But for a few years he remained the premier spin bowler
in the country, good enough to almost singlehandedly win matches for
his country. When he made his Test debut against Pakistan at Karachi
in 1982-83, he was at 17 years and 193 days the youngest Indian Test
cricketer. Success was hard in coming in the initial years but bowling
to some of the leading batsmen in the world was a lesson that stood
Maninder in good stead. With bowlers like Venkatraghavan, Shastri,
Doshi, Sivaramakrishnan and Shivlal Yadav around it was not until the
1986 tour of England that Maninder really established himself in the
side. Taking 12 wickets in the three Tests at 15.62 apiece, he was one
of the stars of the victory in the series.
Back home he was at his peak, as he took 18 wickets in three Tests
against Sri Lanka. This included a match haul of ten for 107 in the
second Test at Nagpur. It was followed in the same season by an even
better performance - 20 wickets in four matches against Pakistan. This
included his second ten wicket match haul - for 126 runs in the
decider at Bangalore. But just as he seemed to have consolidated his
position as the No 1 spinner in the land, for some inexplicable reason
he lost his place after a series of poor performances and though he
came back for a few Tests in the 90s, he was never again the same
bowler and faded from the scene. He retired from the game early and
became a respected umpire and leading TV commentator.(Partab Ramchand)
